NewSci launches first Big Data Lab for Non-Profit Sector

TAMPA, Fla. - June 10, 2014 - PRLog -- At a time when the volume, variety, and velocity of information are exploding, organizations find themselves struggling to turn the data deluge into actionable knowledge. NewSci LLC created NewSci Labs to address the challenges of doing good in the age of Big Data.

“As amazing as Big Data technology is, without the understanding of how to use it effectively, it is at best a novelty, and at worst a distraction. We created NewSci Labs to ensure our clients are able to fully realize the potential of this transformational technology,” said David Lawson, Co-Founder and CEO of NewSci.

Jay Goulart, Co-Founder and Chief Data Artist of NewSci, stated, “With years of experience in understanding how to apply the knowledge and insights gleaned from data to the real-world challenges of the educational and nonprofit sectors, our team is well-positioned to help organizations harness the incredible power of Big Data. Leading schools, universities, non-profit organizations, consulting firms, and hospitals are currently in discussions with us to put NewSci Labs to work for them. ”

NewSci Labs will have three primary focus areas – Engagement; Attraction; and Relationships. Each of the focus areas will have labs devoted to particular sectors and specialties. “Mission impact; admissions; relationship retention; information governance; and social engagement are just a few examples of what we will be doing,” added David Lawson. NewSci Labs will be producing a series of white papers and webinars to further education within the sector.
